Former QPR, Manchester City and England star Stan Bowles was a special guest at Heys home game with AFC Blackpool yesterday.

Bowles made 565 appearances in his career scoring 154 goals. He started his career at City in 1967 but left after a falling out with Malcolm Allison.

He is best remembered for his time at QPR where he made 315 appearances, scoring 97 goals between 1972 and 1979, when Rangers were one of the country's top sides.

Regarded as one of footballs mavericks he made five appearances for England scoring once.

Sadly, Stan now suffers from Alzhiemers but still enjoys his football and posed for this picture for the Heys team before yesterdays' game.
